You meet a cool person at a thing, swap instagrams, and then watch each other's stories for six years without ever actually meeting up 🫣. That specific loneliness is why I built you coming.
Hey everyone, I'm Nicole 👋 a solo founder, nomad for the winter, and software engineer based in London. I've moved around a fair bit over the years: Berlin, NYC, San Francisco, London. Winters in Thailand. Every move meant building up a new friend group and community from scratch.
I found meeting people easy. Turning those people into actual friends, kinda brutal and exhausting. As a busy person who goes to a lot of events, the logistics burned through my executive function: so many group chats, an obscene amount of notifications, too much work to parse through and find the actual hangouts, so I muted them instead.
The truth is WhatsApp and the rest are designed around chatting. Hanging out is an afterthought. And on platforms like Meetup you have no control over who shows up or whether you'll vibe with them. I needed a way to turn the people I met here and there into friends, and keep track of my existing ones, without getting lost in the group chat.
It's about giving serendipity more chances to happen: meeting in real life, without messaging 10 group chats or feeling like you're gate-crashing. For travelers, you can announce where you are and friends there get an alert. Friends far away can offer to connect you to their friends in that city, with a personalized message.
We're designed around IRL first, chat later. No algorithm, so you actually see your friends, and no ragebait. Give it a try if you feel my pain, and if there are features you'd love to see, I'm all ears. I want to build this with the community.
📲 Try it out at youcomingapp.com and please share your feedback!
So cool. I loved the hang out feature, is very useful.
Thank you!!
Good idea, but i've done something similar before and it is very difficult to scale!
I hope you have luck with yours!
Great work. Very useful.
Thank you!
Love the design.
Interestingly, I saw Snapchat launched their Snapchat Plans today. It might be worth looking at that and seeing how it looks, what you can take from it etc. This is a highly competitive space right now especially with the likes of Nomadstable and Tripbff (even if they're specifically travel focused).
Few pieces of feedback for you on the app front, hope some, or all of it can help you.
I'd consider a guest mode and/or offering a social single sign on. This will help massively to reduce any sign up friction and drop off.
I'm sure I don't have to remind you that being in the social networking category for apps, you're up against it, but you can make changes and influence your App Store Optimisation. I would start with looking at changing how your name appears on the store. Users are unlikely to find you directly or you show up naturally based on the current.
Good luck!
Thanks for your feedback!
Yes for sure it's a bit competitive. Tbh I'm not trying to compete with NomadTable and co, as they are only for travel and for meeting strangers. Mine is also for people who are stationary in one city and for your greater social network. So I'm kinda aiming for where you go after you meet cool people from things like NomadTable, bars, clubs, whatever to move them from acquaintances to friends.
I'm planning to add another sign in mode for sure, probably passkey, just wanted something to get it off the ground!
Changing the name on the app store also on my list as "plan w/ friends" is kinda eh, just need to sit down and brainstorm and yes maybe some more app photos.
Thanks again!
No more endless whatsapp groups that end in no plans and 7 sentence reasons why someone can't go that day.
omg right, and a wall of "no I can't make it"'s in a giant group is so discouraging! Pleaaaase yes or silence!
I’ve thought that this app was needed for years. I’m so happy it finally exists!
Ahhh thank you so much! Any other features you find would be useful please feel free to give a shout!
Love it! Good luck, Nicole!
Thank you!
Hi everyone, I'm Alex Veka, based in Mexico City.
I founded Vibe Adventures in 2018 with a mission to make authentic, sustainable multi-day tours easy to discover. We've since served over 9,000 travelers (you can read my founder's story here: blog.vibeadventures.com/founders-story/).
After years of helping travelers book guided trips, we kept running into the same problem:
✈️ They'd find a great tour at the right price, but the flights for those exact dates were expensive, inconvenient, or simply didn't work. Suddenly, the "great deal" wasn't so great anymore.
🔎 The problem is that multi-day tours and flights are usually searched separately.
So we rebuilt our platform to solve it 👉 www.vibeadventures.com
Vibe Adventures now matches multi-day tours from different operators with compatible real-time flights, so travelers can compare the total trip price and find combinations that fit their dates, interests, and budget. We recently integrated with TourRadar too, which means travelers can pair 6,000+ instantly bookable small-group tours across 110+ countries with live flights in a single checkout.
Here's a quick 2-minute walkthrough: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb66XL21VIE
⚙️ What looks simple on the front end is surprisingly complex behind the scenes: fixed tour departures, different starting and ending cities, constantly changing flight inventory, and thousands of possible combinations.
The platform is now live, and we're starting to put it in front of more travelers and travel-industry professionals.
💬 We'd especially value feedback from the Travel Massive community:
- Do you see tours + flights as a meaningful gap in online travel today?
- Where do you think the biggest friction still exists?
- And if you're a tour operator or agent: would combined tour+flight distribution be useful to you, or more of a headache?
Would love to hear how people across travel tech, tour operations, airlines, OTAs, and travel agencies see this problem.
WAOW, i think there are some similar agencies that devolped something similar, but i think yours is making many API connections in real time to develop a full package with logic and common sense.
Congrats!! I will check it in deep!
BTW would you be open to connect with DiverDoo.com for scuba diving destinations, including snorkel/discovery packages?
Let's talk!!
Thanks, Nacho! I sent you a message
Definitely a real gap. Travelers care about the total trip cost and how everything fits together, not tours and flights separately. Combining both in one search makes a lot of sense.
Just spent a few minutes browsing around the site and I'm really impressed. Moving through multi-day itineraries is usually a total headache, but the checkout flow and filters here feel super smooth and intuitive. The places to visit are so unique, many tours in places I would love to travel someday!
Hi, I'm Osamah, the founder of My Travel Choices from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The idea came from a problem I kept running into when planning trips. Most travel websites expect you to choose a destination first. But sometimes the real question is: Where can I go with my budget, available dates, and travel style?
I built My Travel Choices as a free bilingual website in English and Arabic. A traveler enters where the trip starts, total budget, trip length, rough travel dates, who is traveling, and what kind of experience they want. The website then ranks destinations, estimates the complete trip cost range, and explains why each option fits or does not fit.
Beyond discovering a destination from scratch, travelers can browse bilingual destination pages, compare places side by side, and use the trip-cost calculator when they already have somewhere in mind. This means the website supports both sides of the decision: finding suitable possibilities and checking whether a specific trip is financially realistic.
The estimates bring flights, accommodation, food, activities, local transportation, and a buffer together. It is not a booking service and the figures are not live quotes. The goal is to help people narrow their choices before spending hours researching destinations that may not fit.
With the MTC Group Trip Decision Room, start a group trip and share the link. Each person adds their budget and preferences privately. My Travel Choices brings those answers together to help your group choose a destination that fits.

The project is live and still improving. I would value feedback from the Travel Massive community. Is this decision-first approach useful? What information is missing? What would make you trust the recommendations enough to use them when planning a trip?
Not a bad idea, however there are many websites to find cheap flights by budget, even Google flights.
Moving forward, I would work a lot on your IA image and texts.
Thanks, Nacho! Maybe the visuals need a return trip to the drawing board 😄 I appreciate you being candid.
You’re right that there are plenty of tools for finding cheap flights. My focus is helping people decide where to go based on their whole-trip budget, understand costs beyond the flight, and choose together when travelling as a group. If that didn’t come across, that’s useful feedback on how I’m explaining it.
Was there a particular image or bit of wording that stood out? I’d love to hear what you’d change—or an example you think does it well. Honest feedback and practical suggestions are exactly why I wanted to share it here.
I also had a look at DiverDoo. Helping people discover and compare diving experiences is a great idea—there must be so many amazing spots people never think to look for. I’ve been diving a few times and loved it. Hopefully our paths cross somewhere, and you can take me to one of your favourite spots! 🤿
Hi, I'm César Camelo, an engineer and software developer with more than 20 years building digital products and mobile apps. Quindío es Mío grew out of my connection to Colombia's Coffee Region and a desire to help more people discover Quindío beyond the usual tourist routes, bringing together technology, travel, and local knowledge.
Quindío es Mío (Spanish for "Quindío is Mine") was born from a simple idea: to share the region we love in a way that feels close, useful, and real.
Quindío is a department in Colombia's Coffee Region, the Eje Cafetero, with its UNESCO-listed coffee landscapes, the towering wax palms of Cocora Valley, and colorful towns like Salento and Filandia.
However Quindío is more than coffee and postcard landscapes. It's small towns with their own rhythm, family-run places, mountain roads, local food, hidden viewpoints, nature reserves, living traditions, and people who make every visit feel personal.
With Quindío es Mío, we want travelers to discover all of that with more context and fewer clichés. The app helps you explore places, follow routes, navigate with maps, save your favorites, find events, and plan a trip that reaches beyond the usual stops.
And now, with our international hub and English content, we're opening that experience to travelers from around the world.
We're proud to share Quindío with people who are curious, respectful, and willing to explore it slowly — not just as a destination, but as a place with stories, communities, and a way of life worth discovering.
If Colombia's Coffee Region is on your travel list, we'd love to help you experience it through local eyes. Welcome to Quindío. This is our home, and we'd be happy to show you around.
You can download the app (iOS and Android) and learn more at quindioesmio.com
Thanks for your feedback!
Nice, a local app with a particular niche to validate and grow steady!
Good luck!
Hi Travel Massive 👋
I'm Max, co-founder of TripMemo. We launched earlier this year and this community felt like the right place to properly introduce it.
The idea came from a problem most travellers know too well: you come home from an amazing trip and everything ends up buried in your camera roll. Thousands of photos, no story, no context. Six months later you can't remember which beach that was or what that little restaurant was called.
TripMemo fixes that. It turns your photos, places and notes into a beautiful digital TripBook — day-by-day pages, map pins, the whole journey laid out like something you'd actually want to look back on.
It's come a long way since launch. Here's what it does now:
Real-time collaboration. Travelling with friends or family? Everyone adds their photos and notes to the same TripBook as the trip happens. No more chasing people for pictures in the group chat afterwards.
Discover and plan. You can now build itineraries before you go, not just document afterwards. Find places, map out your days, then watch the plan become the memory.
Stamps and a vintage camera. Little touches that make each TripBook feel personal — passport-style stamps and a film camera mode for that analogue feel.
Shared trip links. Every TripBook gets a web link, so the people who couldn't come along can follow the whole trip in their browser. No app needed.
Works offline. Because the best places rarely have signal.
It's free to download on iPhone, with optional subscriptions for the premium features.
We're a small team building this because we genuinely love travel and hated watching our own trips disappear into camera-roll oblivion. Would love for you to try it, and honest feedback from this community would mean a lot.

Happy travels,

I launched Artsy Traveler in March 2020 , which is arguably the worst possible month to start a travel blog. Travel stopped, we all hunkered down, and my new blog sat waiting.
Mt travel blog grew out of my other work. I write historical novels, all of them inspired by the arts, and in 2019 I'd built Art In Fiction, a database of arts-inspired novels. Developing it, I kept noticing that my readers were also travelers, people who planned trips around the arts and history in the books they loved. Artsy Traveler was my way to scratch that travel-writing itch.
When travel returned in 2022, so did I, and I began building Artsy Traveler into a real arts and culture travel blog focused mainly on Europe and Canada, with recent forays into Thailand, Costa Rica, and beyond. For a while, I ran it separately from my novels and my podcast (The Art In Fiction Podcast, 75 episodes now). I'd decided that Art In Fiction was for readers and Artsy Traveler was for traveler, although I began to suspect that more often than not they were the same person.
In 2026 I finally connected the dots. My ideal reader is a 55+ independent traveler who values comfort, chooses novels related to their arts and cultural interests, and plans trips around museums, galleries, and performances. Once I saw that clearly, Artsy Traveler stopped being a side hustle and became the front door. I even built a bot, Your Artsy Traveler Companion, that helps readers find arts-inspired novels set in the places they're visiting, plus related blog posts. The novels, the podcast, and the blog stopped competing for my time and started reinforcing each other.
Read and learn more about the Artsy Traveler at www.artsy-traveler.com
I'm curious how others here have niched down far enough that separate projects ended up serving the same person.
I love this, Carol! As someone interested in art and who seeks out art in many forms when travelling, I appreciate your specialisation in this area. It is a field I post about too, but I love that it is your entire niche. Will definitely check out your blog for itinerary inspiration!
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a small personal project I’ve been working on called Travel Value Score.
I’m actually a dentist, not a developer or someone who works in the travel industry. I just enjoy traveling and have always found myself comparing different destinations and wondering where my money would actually go the furthest.
So in my spare time, I started building a website that compares countries based on overall travel value. The idea is to look beyond just which places are cheapest and instead help people find destinations where they can get good value based on where they’re traveling from.
It’s still a pretty new project and I’m continuing to improve it whenever I have time. I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback, especially from people here who know the travel industry much better than I do.
Check it out at travelvaluescore.com
Thanks for taking a look.
The idea itself is very interesting!
Thanks for sharing!
However, travelling through countries which currency is being degraded might sound a bit unethical and I'm not sure if that's the type of tourims i would like to push.
Anyways, I like it a lot as an infromative website! Congrats!
Most successful tourism destinations benefit from having an attractive currency - look at Japan, Thailand, Australia, etc. What matters is spending your money where it goes into the local economy and won't get extracted (eg via foreign owned hotels or mass package tours).
The safety score needs a bit of elaboration though. This is highly subjective as every city in the world has some dangerous places.
Hi Nacho. Thanks for your feedback and your kind words!
I know currency alone does not fully reflect the value for travelling to a country so I added in other factors as well to calculate the score (seasonality, safety, weather, etc). I will continue to refine the methods of scoring!
Safety score is definitely being worked on further.
The difficulty definitely is that safety is indeed subjective and safety varies even within the country. So for this reason, it becomes even more difficult for a geographically larger country like Australia/USA for example. I will continue to look for a better solution.
Thanks for your feedback!!
I'd be more interested in a "travel disruption" index which factored in things such as public transport strikes (happens a lot in "safe" countries), average monthly airport delays and cancellations, and major weather events (e.g typhoons, extreme heat waves, etc).
This has great potential usage, however, I'm not 100% agreeing with the currency advantage rankings, or I could be misunderstanding it. Ex. South Africa, I was just there last month and the US dollar goes a long way and accomodation were very inexpensive. Just because the advantage went down a bit doesn't mean it's not overall extremely strong. (I could be totally misunderstanding that stat though)
Even if the U.S. dollar still goes a long way in a country, the score can be lower if the exchange rate is not as favorable as it was 12 months or 5 years ago. A lower safety score can also bring down the overall score.
That said, you’re absolutely right. Even if the currency advantage has weakened compared with the past, a country that is still very affordable should receive more credit for that affordability.
There are quite a few factors that go into determining the overall travel value score, so I’m currently working on fine-tuning how much weight each factor should have in the final calculation.
I don’t think it will ever be possible to make the scoring system perfectly match everyone’s priorities, since different travelers value affordability, safety, currency strength, weather, and other factors differently. My goal is to find the best overall balance so the score is as useful as possible for most travelers.
It’s really helpful to hear feedback like this, Kristi. Thank you, and please feel free to share your thoughts anytime!
Melbourne's travel community filled the rooftop for the latest [Travel Massive Melbourne gathering](www.travelmassive.com/events/sunset-rooftop-drinks-in-melbournes-west-end-2482733016), hosted at [Courtyard by Marriott Melbourne Flagstaff Gardens](www.marriott.com/en-us/hotels/melcy-courtyard-melbourne-flagstaff-gardens/overview/) in West Melbourne — one of the biggest turnouts the chapter has seen in a while following a recent membership drive.
The evening welcomed travel journalists, tour operators, founders, creators and professionals from travel and tourism companies including *Inspiring Vacations, Qatar Airways, 50 Degrees North, I Know The Pilot, Videreo and Flights Club*, just to name a few. We were also joined by members from Filipino World Travelers, Young Tourism Network (YTN), and the Australian Society of Travel Writers. Speaking of travel writing, long-time member Tim Richards was there too, with a preview of his latest published travel book [Train Europe](www.readings.com.au/events/train-europe-by-tim-richards), a rail guide to Europe and the UK spanning 20 trips.
#Meet our host: Courtyard by Marriott Melbourne Flagstaff Gardens
General Manager [Scott Breen](www.linkedin.com/in/scott-breen/) welcomed members and introduced the property to first-time visitors. Opened a few years ago at [50 Batman Street](maps.app.goo.gl/GFoSu3rhHhdjnEa1A), the hotel sits in a well-connected pocket of West Melbourne, a short walk from Southern Cross Station and Marvel Stadium, with a rooftop entertainment space that hosted us on the night. Scott shared the team's ambition to draw more visitors to this side of Melbourne city, an area that's easy to reach but still flying under the radar.
To get new and established members talking, we played a hotly contested round of networking bingo, with [Elizabeth Costello](www.travelmassive.com/@elizabeth-costello-1012601561) from Tourism North East and [Diya Joshi](www.travelmassive.com/@diya-joshi-3040773019) from Travel and Leisure walking away with a complimentary night's stay including breakfast at Courtyard by Marriott.
Thank you to everyone who came along, to Casey and Justin for bringing so many new members into the fold, and to Scott and his colleagues Jason, April and the Courtyard by Marriott team for hosting us so generously. We're already looking forward to the next one: in late November. Keep an eye on the event page for details, and we hope to see you there.
— Casey, Justin and Melbourne Travel Massive team
*Want to be part of events like this? Join the [Melbourne Travel Massive](www.travelmassive.com/posts/melbourne-travel-massive-258662400) to stay in the loop for the next event. Contact chapter leaders [Casey Mead](www.travelmassive.com/@kckiwigirl) and [Justin Meneguzzi](www.travelmassive.com/@justin-meneguzzi) to sponsor an event.*
This was a great event and always good to catch up with my Melbourne friends and meet some new members. Thanks Casey and Justin for organising!
Cant wait for the next meet up!
Sorry I couldn't be there everyone. Unsurprisingly for this industry, I am in Canada for work! Can't wait to organise and see you at the next one.
I really must put myself out there and meet all these incredible people in the industry. Thank you for organising and i will look out for the next event
"Beachfront" means almost nothing. Sometimes you step out and swim. Sometimes there's a trek, a marina, and water you wouldn't go back into. No booking site describes what the water is actually like.
My wife Susan and I are open-water swimmers, and for years we've planned trips around one question: can we stay somewhere good and get a great swim right outside the door? It started when a friend asked for a couple of Costa Brava hotels that would suit swimmers. I began writing the list and couldn't stop.
53 hotels across 10 countries now, each checked against four rules: direct access to the water or under five minutes on foot, a real unobstructed swim route, water worth swimming in, and a hotel worth staying at even if you never got in. Binary curation, closer to Michelin than TripAdvisor. Well-known properties have been left off because the swim didn't hold up.
There are no affiliate links. Every listing goes straight to the hotel's own site. Every photograph is used with permission, asked for one hotel at a time, or sent by swimmers who have been there. That has been slower than expected, and more rewarding.
What I'd most value from this group is a read on the product. Is the proposition clear, is the curation convincing, and what would you do differently? And, if you know of a property that should be here and is not, please let me know.
Thx so much for your attention. Explore the website over at bluewaterhotels.com
very cool, thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much Nupur!
One request: please start a newsletter! Or even just send out updates. I'd happily sign up for an occasional new hotel, swimming spot, or other place you've discovered. I looked for one and couldn't find it. Great idea, wonderful editorial, and beautiful site.
This is a great resource, thanks for sharing!
As someone who lives on a beach, I'm always curious about the rules of beach access in other places. For example here in Australia all beaches are free to access, there's no "private beach" concept.
Water temperature would be nice to know!
Hi everyone, I’d love to hear from travel advisors and travel professionals who work with international destinations.
When you have clients interested in Morocco, how do you usually choose a local trip organizer or partner? What matters most to you — local experience, communication, flexibility, pricing, or something else?
I have experience organizing trips in Morocco and I’m interested in understanding what U.S.-based travel professionals look for when working with partners on the ground.
I'm a U.S.-based travel advisor myself, but I also organize trips on the ground in Morocco through my own company, so I see how this works from both sides.
A few things I think matter most: know your niche. Who you sell to and where you take them matters a lot. Morocco is a big, varied destination, so be genuinely expert in something specific rather than trying to be everything to everyone. Don't waste your time chasing an advisor who's never going to sell your tours. Be clear about what you offer, why you do it, and why it matters to their clients specifically. Know who you're selling to, and make sure the price actually makes sense for them.
Local expertise counts, but it's not the whole picture. A lot of advisors work through companies they're already onboarded with or partnered with, so local expertise alone doesn't always help. You need to build relationships to earn trust. And take time to build the relationships even if it is not for an immediate sale. Meet people, learn about them, and let them learn about you. Things could happen in the future.
Communication and responsiveness are really important. You need to be available, and between the U.S. and Morocco that sometimes means meetings at odd hours.
I'd also say flexibility with client needs, a clear commission structure, and good references help.
I am a Canadian Travel Advisor. I like working with partners. Anyone who is invested in my clients as I am. Therefore I would say I look for companies who have made it their point to lead with hospitality and great service. Usually, this is presented in the form of working with companies I already trust like Virtuoso or advisors/influencers who visit the region often.

Sport, wellness and travel are converging.
Major sporting events are driving destination visits. Scottish football fans at the world cup made Scotland even more desirable to visitors.
At the same time, wellness breaks and active holidays are booming. AI and tech are shaping how people plan, book and experience all of it.
At our September Traveltech Meetup, we'll explore where the opportunities are:
• How tech is changing sports travel, from ticketing and fan experience to travel planning and destination discovery.
• What's driving the growth of wellness tourism, and that works with AI?
• How we can make the most of major sporting events, beyond the event itself?
• Where the innovation opportunities sit as these sectors converge.
We'll hear from:
• Swellbase
• BBSpa
• Tethered
• Sports Tech Scotland / Motion Lab Ventures
Join us for an evening of pizza and networking with people working across Traveltech, tourism, sport and wellness!

Link to event pageJoin fellow Travel Massive members on Sunday, October 4th for an exclusive afternoon of networking and local history at the newly-refurbished Paris Theatre.
Originally built in 1890, the historic Paris Theatre has recently undergone an incredible transformation thanks to Chris and Fae Pink, the owners and founders of Can Can, and we have secured a behind-the-scenes look at their beautiful new space in Portland. In addition to its renewal as a premier Portland entertainment venue, the Paris Theatre now sits as the centerpiece of Pink Light District PDX, Portland’s latest community-led effort focused on revitalizing downtown and reinvigorating this iconic Portland neighborhood.
Enjoy a special tour of the historic Paris Theatre and hear from the team about Can Can, the Pink Light District and their plans for breathing new life into Portland’s entertainment and tourism industries. A no-host bar will be available in their charming courtyard for libations and mingling and as a special thank you, attendees of our event will receive an exclusive 15% discount for that evening’s 6:30 pm show (tickets available at the box office day-of).
We are thrilled to spend the afternoon together at Can Can’s Paris Theatre and we look forward to seeing you there!
Space is limited. Advance RSVP is highly encouraged. DM Kylie Curtis for questions.
